At the start of August, I was taken by ambulance to Norwich and Norfolk Accident and Emergency (A&E) where I was mis-diagnosed with a gastric blockage. I was advised to see my GP and get an ultrasound. When I explained the symptoms to my GP, Dr Tulley, she said "Sounds more like gallstones, you're a bit young to have them but we must get that ultrasound done".
Happy Birthday Matey.
Its never too soon to start building an instinctive terror of giant singing pink cakes...
I spent this weekend playing two games and fiddling with my makerbot trying to get reliable prints out of it.
An update on various things that have been going on.
Holiday in Tahoe and SF:
I spent far too long this weekend not really understanding Civ 5. While it downloaded I attempted to read the manual (all 230+ pages of it), and got a basic idea of combat, play mechanics etc etc. Did the basic tutorial, and won it in about 10 minutes.
I've been living in this city for a fair while now, so it's high time I blogged about it. Also if I don't do something other than Civ for a bit, I'm going to end up trying to settle the field out the back of the flat...
Things I like:
It's been a long, long race season for me this year. Certainly a tough one, and one that finished on a great high with Reading Triathlon, which pretty much goes thrgouh my village.
Taxonomy fails irk me. Some might say disproportionately so. They might even have a point. Nevertheless, I think it’s important to at least try to get these sorts of things right, so I was pleased to Alex Wild, over at Myrmecos, taking the time to come up with a formula for figuring out just how wrong a taxonomy fail is.
Update 4: Now on the mend but not 100%. Nevertheless, we're going to be ready to move on Saturday 23rd of October. I've modified the list below because my in-laws have kindly moved a load of stuff to the house already. We're pretty well organised (having had weeks to prepare and think about stuff).
